I am a Solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales, specializing in international financial law.

Full statement

Additionally, I qualified as an Attorney-at-Law in New York and an Avvocato in Italy. My career has taken me to blue-chip firms and institutions, including Sullivan & Cromwell, Shearman & Sterling (now A&O Shearman), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and BlackRock. If my passport could talk, it would tell you it’s exhausted.

Presently, I focus on policy research, producing analysis that is regularly featured on a range of international media outlets such as CNBC, Rai, Sky News, Vatican News, Atlantico, Diritto Bancario, Informazione Difesa, La Voce Repubblicana, Longitude, Milano Finanza, Proiezioni di Borsa, Scenari Economici, Radio Radicale, and London One Radio. Additionally, my work appears on Bloomberg terminals via the Alliance Dow Jones newswire. I also serve as the Middle East analyst for Longitude Magazine and maintain a blog on The Times of Israel. In short, I seem to be everywhere—like a particularly verbose ghost.

My professional journey has taken me around the world, with time spent living in Italy, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, the United States, and several other locations. These experiences have provided me with a blend of Latin warmth, Italian style, American determination, and English reserve. This eclectic mix makes me well-prepared for any international misunderstanding or dinner party conversation.

Outside of work, I am an active member of Beth Hillel, a Reform synagogue in Rome, and a member-at-large of B’nai B’rith in Washington DC. These affiliations reflect my commitment to community and faith, which provide a steady foundation amidst my varied experiences. I like to think of it as having roots while still being able to stretch my wings.

With a career spanning demanding legal practice and innovative policy analysis, I aim to bridge the realms of law, finance, and international relations, contributing to global discussions with measured insight, integrity, and perhaps just a dash of wit.
